Hello, I plan to get a Hyper Evo 212 heat-sink. I want to run 2 fans on it ( push pull ). I was looking at
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/13288/fan-871/Gelid_Solutions_Wing_12_PL_120mm_x_25mm_UV_Reactive_PWM_Gamer_Fan_-_UV_Blue.html?tl=g36c365s936&id=nBWyIejX&mv_pc=3408#blank

Would like opinions on that fan or others. Would like to have Red or Blue LED/UV too.

Hmmm...I'll just switch out the fan that comes with it, use a led one...

Off topic a bit...is it better to run them Horizontal or Vertical?

It was designed for horizontal, but the second link up there shows little difference either way.
